Description:

Adds ability to respawn player:
from admin menu

from console

from 3-rd party plugins using native

without losing statistics.

This is fork, improved version based on v1.9.5 from this topic. See changelog below.

Features:

Allow respawning even a spectator (with team selection)
Ability to spawn in crouch pose (like inside the transport / duct with limited height of space)
Very accurate positioning at crosshair preventing the collision
Lot of customization in respawn position (see ConVars and l4d_sm_respawn.inc)
Allow to switch the team (e.g. using sm_respawnex command)

Commands:

sm_respawn - Opens menu to select players for respawning.
sm_respawn <target> - Respawn a player at your crosshair.
sm_respawnex - Extended respawn options. Alternative to SM_Respawn() native. See the "Natives" section.

Settings (ConVars):

cfg/sourcemod/l4d_sm_respawn.cfg:

PHP Code:

// Respawn survivor players with this loadout // For the list of valid names see here: https://github.com/raziEiL/l4d2_weapons/blob/e7d7d75518150aea155acc3c37ff79f15e994b99/scripting/include/l4d2_weapons.inc#L149 l4d_sm_respawn_loadout "smg,pistol,pain_pills" // Notify in chat and log about the respawn action? (0 - No, 1 - Yes) l4d_sm_respawn_showaction "1" // Add 'Respawn player' item in admin menu under 'Player commands' category? (0 - No, 1 - Yes) l4d_sm_respawn_adminmenu "1" // Where to respawn? (1 - next to you or alive player, 2 - at your crosshair, 32 - TakeOver bot firstly. You can combine with SPAWN_POSITION values, see .inc file) l4d_sm_respawn_position "34" // What teams to display in respawn menu? (2 - Spectators, 4 - Survivors, 8 - Infected, 16 - Dead only, 32 - No surv.bots, 64 - No inf.bots. You can combine) l4d_sm_respawn_teams "78" // Respawn infected player as ghost? (1 - Yes, 0 - No, instant respawn) l4d_sm_respawn_ghost "1" // Admin flag(s) required to use the respawn command l4d_sm_respawn_accessflag "d" // (ban)

PHP Code:


			
/**

 * Respawns the player.

 *

 * @param iTarget            Target who you want to respawn.

 * @param iClient            (optional) Specify it if e.g. you want to respawn target at this client's crosshair or origin.

 * @param eOverridePosition    (optional) Specify it to use a specific teleport rule - see enum "SPAWN_POSITION".

 * @param iOverrideTeam        (optional) Specify it to force assigning player to a specific team. Default value is SPAWN_IN_TEAM_DEFAULT (-1).

 * @param vOrigin[3]        (optional) Position where you want target to be spawned. Applicable with SPAWN_POSITION_VECTOR flag only.

  *

 * @error                    Wrong number of arguments.

 * @return                    true, if target is successfully respawned.

native int SM_Respawn(

    int iTarget,

    int iClient = 0,

    SPAWN_POSITION eOverridePosition = SPAWN_POSITION_CONVAR,

    int iOverrideTeam = SPAWN_IN_TEAM_DEFAULT,

Examples:
Note: see the full plugin sample in the source file: /examples/l4d_native_usage_sample.sp

SM_Respawn() Native:

PHP Code:


			
// Example 1: Respawning at spawn point

SM_Respawn(target, _, SPAWN_POSITION_SAFEROOM);



// Example 2: Respawning target at client's crosshair

SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_CROSSHAIR);



// Example 3: Respawning yourself at specified coordinates

SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_VECTOR, SPAWN_IN_TEAM_DEFAULT, vec);



// Example 4: Respawning player at infected team next to you

SM_Respawn(target, client, SPAWN_POSITION_ORIGIN, SPAWN_IN_TEAM_INFECTED);

Using sm_respawnex command, that is an alternative to native:

PHP Code:


			
// Example 1: Respawning at spawn point

sm_respawnex @me 0 8



// Example 2: Respawning target at client's crosshair

sm_respawnex TargetName @me 1



// Example 3: Respawning yourself at specified coordinates

sm_respawnex @me 0 4 -1 "33.0 1200.5 970.6"



// Example 4: Respawning player at infected team next to you

sm_respawnex TargetName @me 2 3

Installation

- Just unpack /l4d_sm_respawn/ and copy to server.
- If you update from the original 1.x version, perhaps you may want to remove "Respawn Survivor" entry from "configs/adminmenu_custom.txt" file (not required anymore, unless you are using adminmenu_sorting.txt feature).
- If you want to use custom admin. menu items sorting (like, to make "Respawn Player" item to be the first in the list), here are required correct settings:

(optionally) adminmenu_custom.txt

(optionally) adminmenu_sorting.txt

P.S. You don't need l4d_native_usage_sample.sp file. It is an example for developers, how to use natives.
